Well, put Alex! But does anyone else on the list has experience tweaking smooth wall to generate emails based on attack types or fw rules. ------Original Message------ From: Alex Howells Sender: alex.howells () 0wn3d us To: infolookup () gmail com Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Sent: Jul 2, 2008 6:30 PM Subject: Re: Smooth wall 3.0 Tweaks 2008/7/2 <infolookup () gmail com>:
I am basically looking to see if this product is good or can I deploy other free products and get more out of them.
That largely depends on how much time you've got I'm afraid -- everything which Smoothwall is doing can be implemented in different ways, using free tools. Whether you want to spend 2 weeks tinkering about and implementing your 'perfect' setup is probably a cost:benefit decision you need to make ;) The most important question, in my opinion: does the product do what you want, is it 99% there? As to whether the product is good - only you can answer that :) That's like asking, "How long is a piece of string?" or "What is the best editor?" -- it will always cause people of different opinions to spout "It's complete bollocks" vs "It's the best thing ever" and none of those people are you, so it's pretty irrelevent spouting!
